Scottie Scheffler has claimed victory at the 2022 golf Masters at Augusta National, finishing ahead of Ireland’s Rory Mcllroy

Scheffler claimed his first major title, with his final round one-under-par. He finished 10-under for the tournament and five shots ahead of second-placed McIlroy.

Meanwhile, at Scheffler’s home club in Dallas, Texas, nearly every seat was filled as they celebrated the victory.

Scheffler was the tournament’s leader for almost three days, taking home the famous green jacket and 2.7 million dollars in prize money.

Almost lost for words, the world champion says he can’t thank his family enough, and to have the honour of winning the tournament and to have his family there was “incredible.”

After blowing the field away with his stellar performance at the 86th Masters, Scheffler embraced his wife Meredith Scudder.

EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.


The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.

Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.

The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
